Honestly I kind of wish Valve didn't release the drivers. Make people actually work to get that abomination working if that's what they really want.
If they want it badly enough they should have to write the drivers themselves.
Eh, I really like the hacker mentality that Valve has for their hardware. They just want people to use it, because they know that the best place to get games for the hardware - whether it's running Linux or Windows - is Steam. And the more people find fun ways to abuse the hardware, the more press it gets, the more people want it, etc. etc. Great for Valve, great for the customers, great for the gaming industry.
